2. Too much chrome? If there is a button that provides a function, how is it too much chrome?

3. Tabs are indistinguishable? How so? There is an icon there. And I don't see many people opening up ten tabs of YouTube all at once. Since you can only watch one video at a time and there are bookmarks.

4. Even though I think that is the perfect size, the option to change the font should be available regardless of platform.

5. It could be, but I hate with a passion all the Hidden UI in Metro. If there is a button, Okay, but all the off screen swipes I find annoying. Comparing a button to a off screen swipe to bring up UI, the button provides a visual cue.

6. Yes, I did choose the colors associated with Firefox and the desktop.

7. And why should I do that?

8. What a coincidence they don't, who could ever use a program with a top bar that's properly sectioned off and uses icons to denote functionality. Oh wait... wait, wait, wait, that's every program, isn't it? My bad.

Sorry,

But it looks hideous, and doesn't pick up on any of the touch design rules set by MS for the MUI.

Me personally thinks a Windowed MUI app is just plain stupid, and I really hope MS will never go into this.

Adjust people, we have been doing so for the last couple of million years. Or 6000 years, depending on your look of life ;-)

You say "stupid" a lot. It seems like you spent more time in this message saying something derogatory than saying something informative.

My thought was if this was the tablet iteration of windows that the desktop minimize, maximize, and close buttons would be removed, since there would a task manager that would function different than the desktop one for closing apps.

Really don't like it. Visually there's far too much going on and it's all very boxy.

Action Buttons, The Address Bar, Tabs, And Captions Buttons? That's too much? Would it be easier just to swipe everything on screen and then choose one of the aforementioned functions because it seems like that would be more to do. I made this for functionality first and style second. Functionality, I think, should come first.

Some thoughts:
How do you know which of those Youtube tabs are what?
What would it look like if I had 20+ tabs open? how would I go through all those tabs?
As someone earlier mentioned, how would I move the window around comfortably?

As someone who from time to time actually uses the desktop with touch (on my surface rt), how would I with fingers move that window around? How about resize it?
